Miles Turpin’s background recruiting and retaining creative talent has brought insights into building teams that thrive working together.

Miles Turpin joined Catholic Recruiter last year, after 35 years in advertising and media. As Group Creative Director, he was responsible for award winning work, as well as recruiting exceptional people and leading their collaborative success. Miles has an ability to match some of the most eccentric talents with partners who get along well with them. His take on a candidate’s ability to fit into a new group is always on the money.

Being of service is one of Miles’ guiding principles. Over the years he’s dedicated an extraordinary amount of time doing pro bono campaigns for clients. The Basic Fund, the largest non-denominational educational scholarship fund in the country, needed new fund-raising materials that its newly elected CEO felt comfortable using. Judging from the success of the Fund, he was very comfortable using what we provided. In the end, whether you’re dealing with candidates or advertising, it’s all about listening closely and then exceeding expectations.

Miles graduated from San Marino high, in San Marino, California, and then got his BA in English Literature from Claremont McKenna College in Pomona, California.
